On the Fact that (According to Rolling Stone, the National Review, and Other Sources) Less than 1% of the Folks in Federal Prison for Marijuana Offenses Are There for Simple Possession (and Even There it's Sometimes the Result of Pleading Down) - http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/lists/top-10-marijuana-myths-and-facts-20120822/myth-prisons-are-full-of-people-in-for-marijuana-possession-19691231

 Kind of blows up the Obama narrative that thousands of young black kids are rotting federal prisons simply for smoking a joint, now doesn't it?.....................................................................................................P.S. And, yes, as a classical liberal, I'm actually in favor of legalizing most drugs but that's a separate issue.
